Going into the 2023 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
It has been a few years since Penn State truly felt comfortable with what it had to offer with the running game, but this is an area that should put Franklin at ease going into the 2023 season. With [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag] coming off a stellar freshman season at running back, Penn State has plenty of reasons to be optimistic about running the ball this fall. The Big Ten freshman of the year and AP Big Ten newcomer of the year will remain a focal point in the offense this season and should take some of the pressure off new starting quarterback Drew Allar in the process.
